"Known restrictions...No standard libs...Not all methods of builtin types are there by default...No iterator, generator, xrange stuff." There's also the fact that everything is still, at the core, pure javascript. For example

But you can't do that with Transcrypt, either. Both are "not quite python" and won't run regular python code. There is very little difference between the goal of the two projects.

"The reports of Bitcoin's problems are greatly exaggerated". There is a small group who seem really good at spreading a message of "Bitcoin is about to collapse". They are doing this either because they control a lo

Yes, the pro-fork group say they simply want to change the limit of megabytes per block from 1MB to 2MB. Somehow this is worth forking the network over. This may not sound like much, but also keep in mind eight months ago it was 20MB, with

That is true, because /r/bitcoin is about bitcoin. If you want to promote Ethereum, you can do so on /r/ethereum/. I am sure promoting dog ownership over cats is frowned upon by /r/cats readers, too.

Everyone needs to follow the One True Ledger, or you can't know if Bob really sent you $100 of Bitcoins that will be accepted by Joe. There are already competing implementations like btcd written in Go. That's not the issue. This

You can discuss it all you want. You can't promote it just as you can't promote Litecoin or any other different protocol and ledger. Basically the only thing you see on /r/bitcoin for the last 10 months is discussion on

You are wrong about the CSS. What was happening was: the brigades of pro-fork users would downvote anyone who disagreed with them. Reddit hides posts that score -5 or lower. So, the moderators changed the CSS to show all posts (even < -5

The group that is promoting the network fork is extremely good at social media. A clue that it is not genuine, is simply that nobody cares this much about a small technical change to a protocol. Yet these constant, daily, aggressive attacks

I did something like this when I was a kid, in QuickBasic. Not as sophisticated - it would just randomly create, append to, and delete files. I tested it on floppy disks - if you let it run for a while, the remaining free space was so fragm
